Getting into school is hard. Add in a family, mortgage, full-time job, part-time obsession and administrative hurdles and it may seem impossible. But impossible isn't a word in the vocabulary of Jason Sturm, a below knee amputee veteran, who found community and rehabilitation in the world of Crossfit. As Jason fights university bureaucracy in his quest to open his own gym and help other adaptive athletes, we come to understand his drive to continually push himself since the field training accident that changed his life and his ability to inspire us all both in and outside the gym.
